The guy that worked the plate, while remaining anonymous to most of the world, is not anonymous to me. I know him, have worked with him, and saw first hand his "handling" of a situation. I have very little doubt that Young's actions, as awful as they were, were in reaction to this guy popping off. Does that make it OK? No. Did it shed a little light on the situation when I found out who worked the gane? You're damn right it did.

I just can't remember the last time I clocked a player with my mask when he popped off at me.

Maybe this opens the door. Next time a batter questions strike three, kick him in the nuts and tell him to go sit down.

Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind.
